Isaia 58

1 Mikoiha, ko mifoneñe, mipoñafa-feo hoe antsiva, vaho taroño am’ondatikoo ty fiolà’ iareo, naho am’ Iakobe o tahi’eo.

“Cry loudly; do not hold back. Lift up your voice like a trumpet. Confront my people with their rebellion, and the house of Jacob with their sins.

2 Boak’andro iereo manao te mipay ahy, le mintse mifale handrendreke o satakoo, manahake t’ie fifeheañe mpanao havantañañe, hoe mbe lia’e tsy naforintse’e o fañèn’ Añahare’eo, vaho mipay zaka to amako, inao mahafale iareo ty mañarine aman’Añahare.

Yet they seek me daily and delight in the knowledge of my ways, like a nation that practiced righteousness and did not abandon the law of their God. They ask me for righteous judgments; they take pleasure in the thought of God coming near.

3 Ino ty nililira’ay, ihe tsy mahavazoho anay? Akore te nijoie’ay o tro’aio fe tsy nihaoñe’o? Inao! amy androm-pililira’ areoy ro mbore mitolon-draha, naho mampifanehake mpitoroñe.

'Why have we fasted,' they say, 'but you do not see it? Why have we humbled ourselves, but you do not notice?' Look, on the day of your fast you find your own pleasure and oppress all your laborers.

4 Isao te fañòlañe naho fifandierañe avao ty fililira’ areo, hanjevoña’ areo an-­komondron-kalo-tserehañe. Tsy ho janjiñeñe an-dindimoneñe ey i fililira’ areo anindroaniy.

Look, you fast to quarrel and fight, and to hit with your fist of wickedness; you do not fast today to make your voice heard above.

5 Zao hao o fililirañe jinoboko ho androm-pilieram-batañeo? T’ie ho fihohòfañe hoe bararata hao, naho ho fandafihañe gony naho lavenoke ambane eo? Izay hao ty atao’ areo ho lilitse, ho andro no’ Iehovà?

Is this really the kind of fast that I would want: A day for anybody to humble himself, for him to bow down his head like a reed, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under himself? Do you really call this a fast, a day that pleases Yahweh?

6 Tsy itoy hao o fililirañe joboñekoo? ty fañahàñe o silisilin-­kalo-tserehañeo naho ty hampibalahañe o tali-randran-jokao, ty hamotsorañe o forekekèñeo naho ty hampipozahañe ze hene ana-joka?

Is not this the fast that I choose: To release wicked bonds, to undo the ropes of the yoke, to set the crushed ones free, and to break every yoke?

7 Tsy ty handivàñe ty mahakama’o amo salikoeñeo hao, naho ty hampihovàñe añ’anjomba’o ao i mavomavo natao’o soike rezay, naho ty hanikinañe ty miboridañe te oni’o, vaho tsy iambohoa’o ty nofots’aman-dio’o?

Is it not to break your bread with the hungry and to bring the poor and homeless into your house?” When you see someone naked, you should clothe him; and you should not hide yourself from your own relatives.

8 Ie amy zao hipelatse ty hazavà’o manahake te manjirik’ andro, le halisa ty fijangaña’o, hiaolo azo ty havañona’o, vaho hanehak’ azo ty enge’ Iehovà.

Then your light would be broken open like the sunrise, and your healing would quickly sprout up; your righteousness would go before you, and the glory of Yahweh would be your rearguard.

9 Hikanjy irehe henane zay, le hanoiñe azo t’Iehovà; hikaik’olotse le hanoe’e ty hoe: Intoy iraho. Naho asita’o añivo’o ao i jokay, i tondro-soñiy naho o tambaitambaiñeo,

Then you would call, and Yahweh would answer; you would cry out for help, and he would say, “Here I am.” If you take away from among yourselves the yoke, the accusing finger, and the speech of wickedness,

10 Le ie ferenaiña’o o salikoo naho eneñe’o o foreforèñeo, le hanjirike añ’ieñe ao ty hazavà’o vaho hivalike ho tsipinde-mena ty fimoromoroña’o.

if you yourselves provide for the hungry and satisfy the need of the distressed; then your light will rise in the darkness, and your darkness will be like the noonday.

11 Hiaolo azo nainai’e t’Iehovà, le ho eneñe’e ty fiai’o an-tsan-kerè, vaho hampaozare’e o taola’oo. Ho goloboñe soa-tondrake irehe, naho torahañe tsy mai-drano.

Then Yahweh will lead you continually and satisfy you in regions where there is no water, and he will strengthen your bones. You will be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters never fail.

12 Hamboare’ o boak’ama’oo o tanàn-taoloo le hatroa’o o fahan-tariratse maroo, vaho hatao mpamboatse jebañe irehe, mpanomonty o lalam-pimoneñañeo.

Some of you will rebuild the ancient ruins; you will raise up the ruins of many generations; you will be called “The repairer of the wall,” “The restorer of streets to live on.”

13 Aa naho avì’o amy Sabatay ty fandia’o tsy hañeañe o tolon-draha’oo amy androko masiñey; naho tokave’o ty hoe ‘mahafale’ o Sabotseo, ty andro masi’ Iehovà, naho amañ’engeñe, le iasia’o, tsy hañorike o lala’oo, naho tsy hipay ty mahafale azo, vaho tsy hisaontsy o enta’oo;

Suppose that you turn back your feet from traveling on the Sabbath day, and from doing your own pleasure on my holy day. Suppose that you call the Sabbath a delight, and that you call the matters of Yahweh holy and honored. Suppose that you honor the Sabbath by leaving your own business, and by not finding your own pleasure and by not speaking your own words.

14 Ie hifale am’ Iehovà, le hampiningirako azo o haboa’ ty tane toio, vaho ho fahanako ami’ty lova’ Iakobe rae’o; izay ty nitsaraem-palie’ Iehovà.

“Then you will find delight in Yahweh; and I will make you ride on the heights of the earth; I will feed you from the inheritance of Jacob your father—for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken.”
